That's probably the best guess. When I enlarge the pic it's hard to see much more due to the reflection off the bar top.

I thought of that also but he's not smoking & I don't see any cigars. Remember seeing any of the old Uncle Sam electric cigar lighters that used to set on the bar?

It sure was popular at one time, though. It's been a long time since I've had any. So many of those older beers don't taste the same as when our parents and grandparents were drinking them though.

I always thought that was why they invented the Boilermaker.

No, if you find a pic, though, post it. I'd like to.

Don't have a pic of Uncle Sam but here is WC Fields.
The electric version of cigar lighters replaced the earlier ones with gas flames. The lighters were common in tobacco shops & bars.

This type was much more common among electric cigar lighters. You touch your cigar or cigarette to the hot plate.
And this is a version of a dragon gas flame cigar lighter. The flame burned from the dragons mouth all the time. These are worth $thousands today to collectors.
This was the more common gas cigar lighter. When you pulled the T-handle toward you it opened the gas valve & moved a roller across a flint to ignite the gas. Then you leaned in & lit your cigar. Cool beans!

No more work today. A glass, some ice, a Gannon, and Prichard's aged rum.

That's why it was so crowded & so hard to get in anywhere last evening. I just thought it was the heat.

Chamuco,
Had some Don Julio Reposado by the dram tonight. There was a slight alcohol aroma but I noticed the aroma & taste of woodsmoke right away. No medicinal taste from the alcohol though. Also picked up on the taste of vanilla & what I thought was coconut but it may have been some other spice I was unable to identify. No dried fruit or tart apples like the Blanco I tried before. No real discernible bourbon taste from the cask. Very smooth. I can see adding this to my shopping list.

Heat & humidity are returning today after a few days respite. Time to put the felts back until the next break we get. Wearing a Kevin O'Farrell, drinking a Caribou Depth Charge & enjoying time with my best 4-legged female here with me (I couldn't get her 70# butt up on the dash).

I love that hat band more and more every time I see it. Great hat as well!
